Axgren was born in Gothenburg. He turned professional in 1995.

Axgren has won four times on the Challenge Tour, the first in 1996, and then once in 2004 and twice more in 2006, when he finished second on the end of season money list, to graduate to the European Tour for the 2007 season. He did not win sufficient money during that season to retain his tour card, and returned to the Challenge Tour the following season.

On 7 May 2006, Axgren achieved a career highest world ranking of 189.[1]
